Um so Trump had no rally on the elipse that day? No one marched from the rally to the capitol? Yeah, you are “not a Trump supporter,” you just need a vision test.
I think with this recent history, it is probably best not to even attempt a summary chapter. Just let the ample documentary record (video, speeches) from this era “speak for itself.”
Hi! I am a student and your work is being used for my course. I love it! How do I get to download a copy for my study records? My school portal don’t have a download feature fore this book.
According to the 1824 – 1876 Constitution of Texas, Article X Sec 1, “a general diffusion of knowledge being essential to the preservation of the rights and liberties of the people, it shall be the duty of the legislature of this State to make suitable provision for the support and maintenance of public schools.”
“Public schools were virtually nonexistent in the antebellum period” does not reflect this exception.
“he believed the election was stolen and that he meant it when he told the crowd that day to march from the White House to Capitol Hill “peacefully and patriotically”. Accept that he believed none of his supporters was carrying weapons or intended violence of any sort. Accept that he has since come to conclude, as he has claimed, that Nancy Pelosi, then the speaker of the House, somehow “caused” the violence.” because she did not like the “Optics” of having 6 foot fences and guards at the capitol.
[From the ashes of civil war, a new nation faced fresh possibilities while enduring old problems.]
[most of the promises of Reconstruction were unmet. ]
[The compromise allowed southern Democrats, no longer fearing reprisal from federal troops or northern politicians for their flagrant violence and intimidation of black voters, to return to power]
Once the Depression happened, alcohol abuse was brought into the picture. A Republican governor Rutherford B won the election without mentioning reconstruction and picked to focus on fighting corruption and alcohol abuse.
[In September 1873, Jay Cooke and Company declared bankruptcy, ] which lead to 6 years of depression

Some of the paragraphs the text size is smaller then others for not apparent reason.
I don’t know if there is way to fix that but, if possible please try.
It would be fantastic if there were instructor resources (quiz questions, etc.) available as well.
It would be useful to include in the primary sources for Chapter 6, the US Constitution, since so much of that chapter is dedicated to that document. It would also be nice to include a selection from The Federalist Papers so students can understand the framing of the debate over the Constitution. Given the polarized nature of the electorate today, perhaps Federalist 10 would serve the purpose.
It would be great if you could highlight the text and underline it, as if it were a real textbook. Having a toolbar that allows you to take notes like you do in a physical book would be utterly helpful.
Where are the page numbers? I am using the online text for class, and we are asked to site directly from the text. However, unless I am missing something, the online text does not have a convenient way to find the page numbers.
It would be wonderful to have text-to-speech function for the text and textual sources. Many of my students commute, are ESL, or have other accessibility issues. Also, they would learn pronunciations, as well.
Most of the discussions that I have had with other instructors and professors regarding the American Yawp have generated very favorable reviews of the text. One consistent critique, however, is the lack of maps to help with understanding the geographic connections, historical context, and the visualization of historical data and information across the entirety of the text. I tend to agree and geographic/historical map additions to each of the chapters would be extremely helpful.
